Im calling for admins to not censor this community, we need forums like this to come to greater understanding on key issues affecting us as people. Im a conservative, a college dropout, a Christian, socially liberal but fiscally conservative and more than anything willing to chat about difficult topics with anyone

    Turning point is not historically known for open, fair or honest. What are you going to do to make your community different?

      I’m not associated with Turning Point in any way—I just think having a debate space focused on political and social issues would be valuable. You asked what would make it different? For one, there’s no live crowd of students here, just you, me, and the comments. That’s a plus—there’s no risk of physical harm for speaking openly.

      For context, I’m an American. I was a top history student in grade school, consistently earning the highest marks in the toughest classes, and now I work as a truck driver—so my phrasing might come across a little rough at times. Still, I’ll keep things respectful.

      One more thing: as an American, I have the freedom to criticize my government—sometimes with hyperbole or even insults—in ways that aren’t tolerated everywhere. If there are certain topics you can’t address, I understand, but that’s where I’m coming from.
